Abstract

The issue of turnover among Generation Z has become a particular concern in the world of work, especially in relation to the grand goal of the Golden Generation 2045. This study aims to examine the role of job satisfaction and presenteeism in the relationship between work stress and turnover intention among Generation Z in Karanganyar Regency. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis techniques based on SmartPLS, involving 87 Generation Z respondents working in several sectors. The results show that work stress has a significant effect on turnover intention through presenteeism and does not directly affect turnover intention. Meanwhile, job satisfaction can act as a retention factor to reduce turnover intention. These findings support Herzberg's two-factor theory and enrich the literature on Generation Z's work behavior, providing practical implications for human resource management in designing strategies to retain young employees. This study also highlights the importance of creating a work environment that supports mental health and work-life balance to reduce the risk of presenteeism and turnover.
